Was just so much entertainment at both games. We saw an AFL game as well, Geelong hit wall papered byou Sydney. It was fun but it's pure chaos.
Also saw the Wallabies beat the Bokkers earlier in Brisbane. Was a great time as well but just didn't have the same vibe at all. And my God are S. Africans racist. Mind blowingly.
Will try and post some pics later. Jet lag sucks. Lol

Great post. Sounds like you had an awesome trip and it's nice to see another League convert. What did you think about Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney? They are all great cities but I think I like Sydney the best. Just wish it wasn't so damn expensive here.
Aussies are not really into Union right now after a horrible Super Rugby season and test matches. It also doesn't help Union is only played in private schools so barely any kids learn the game growing up. Haha, yes Saffas are pretty racist. They make Aussies look modern and progressive in comparison.
It sure was a great grand final although not quite as good as the one last year which went to extra time. I was also cheering for Melbourne since I work in Cronulla and can't stand the Sharks.
